US EditionHill Country Road Conditions: Highway 39 Closed as Crews Pave Roads Ravaged by Guadalupe River Flooding
KERR AND KENDALL COUNTIES, TEXAS, JUL 9 – More than 100 people died and over 160 remain missing after flash floods caused by a 1-in-100-year rainfall event overwhelmed inadequate warning systems, officials said.
- Following last Friday’s deluge, the Guadalupe River surged from about 3 to 30 feet in 45 minutes, killing over 100 and leaving 160 missing in Texas communities.
- The floods resulted from heavy overnight rain on dry soil, with the river rising 27 feet in under an hour amid warning system failures due to budget issues.
- The camp recorded 6.5 inches of rain in three hours during a 1-in-100-year event, with video showing cabins swept downstream and at least 27 children and staff killed.
- Following the floods, SH 39 remains closed, Trump signed a disaster declaration, and Patrick pledged flood sirens by next summer.
- As searches for over 160 missing persons enter a sixth day, lawmakers call for investigations into the increased flood frequency over the past 20 years and response failures.
